Our Services
Reliable Electrical Services for Hockinson's Rural Homes and Acreage
Hockinson sits in the rolling country east of Brush Prairie, where homes spread out along NE 182nd Avenue, NE 159th Street, and the quiet roads that climb toward the foothills. Many properties here sit on several acres with long driveways, tree-lined power runs, and a well pump that stops working the moment the grid goes down. That makes dependable power a daily concern for families here.
East winds pushing out of the Columbia River Gorge and winter ice storms regularly knock out service on the rural feeder lines that serve this part of Clark County. Fir and cedar stands near Lacamas Creek and the base of Green Mountain look beautiful, but they also drop limbs across overhead lines. When power is out, it can take hours or days to restore on the outer lines.
Our electricians work with Hockinson homeowners to plan for those outages and to keep everyday electrical systems safe. Families near Hockinson Meadows Community Park and the Hockinson School District campuses call us for backup power, panel work, remodel wiring, and honest repairs, all completed to code.

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Breaker Panel Replacement
Older rural homes often run on panels too small for modern loads. A 200 amp service upgrade or breaker panel replacement gives you room for a generator, EV charger, or new shop circuits.
Home EV Charger Installation for Longer Commutes
Driving from Hockinson to Vancouver or Portland adds up fast. We handle level 2 charger installation in garages and shops so your vehicle is ready every morning.
Backup Generator Installation With Transfer Switches
Our most requested service here. We install home standby generators with automatic transfer switch installation, so your well pump, furnace, and freezer keep running through an outage.
Remodel and Home Addition Wiring
Adding a bedroom, finishing a bonus room, or updating a kitchen needs careful planning. We handle kitchen remodel electrical, bathroom remodel electrical, and addition electrical wiring from start to final inspection.
Electrical Safety Inspection and Whole Home Surge Protection
Rural lines see more surges from storms and switching. We inspect your system, flag hazards, and install whole home surge protection at the panel to guard appliances and electronics.
Interior and Exterior Lighting Installation
Dark country roads and long driveways call for good lighting. We install security lighting, landscape lighting, recessed lighting, and ceiling fixtures inside and out.
Smart Home and Specialty Electrical Work
From hot tub electrical installation to smart switch installation and video doorbell wiring, we take on the specialty projects that make a Hockinson home more comfortable.
What Hockinson Homeowners Should Know Before Electrical Work
Because Hockinson is unincorporated Clark County, electrical permits and inspections go through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries rather than a city office. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the work meets current code before the inspector arrives. Many homes here also have long underground or overhead runs to detached shops, so voltage drop and proper grounding need attention on every project.
Here is what to expect when you work with Elevate NW Electric in Hockinson:
- Generator sizing around your well pump. We calculate the starting load of your well pump, septic system pump, and heating so your standby generator handles real demand.
- Permits handled for you. We manage the L&I electrical permit and inspection process from start to finish.
- Honest assessments of older panels. If your panel is outdated or undersized, we explain your options clearly before any work begins.
- Planning for detached shops and barns. Subpanel installation and dedicated circuits are sized for welders, compressors, and heaters.
- Storm-ready upgrades. Surge protection and proper grounding help protect equipment on rural lines that see frequent faults.
- Clear scheduling. Our crews work Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, and we confirm arrival times ahead of each visit.

Elevate did my panel upgrade and I appreciated they were able to handle everything that PGE threw at them! I don’t think it could have been complicated more, but once it was done I’d highly recommend.
Linel Rogers I highly recommend Elevate NW Electric LLC. I had an issue with an outlet in our crawl space. They were quick to respond to my need. Found the issue. Recommended a better solution. All in a reasonable time. You can't go wrong with such willing and eager people to please their customers.
Barbara Garlisch We hired Elevate NW Electric multiple times to do several projects including fixing electrical wiring, installing a new exterior outlet, moving sconces and switches, and installing an exterior light fixture 20 feet up. Their work was professional, and they completed the work efficiently. Scheduling was easy and they responded quickly to questions. Pricing was transparent and fair.
Jesse Young Elevate NW Electric does a phenomenal job at a reasonable price. They updated our electrical panel, did wiring for new heat pumps/furnaces, installed an EV charger and installed an outlet for our induction/convection range. Since then I hire them for all my electrical needs, including adding outlets and repairing wiring that was nicked during remodeling. They're efficient and responsive. They're also kind when I mess stuff up before calling them. :D I always tell my friends they're favorite tradespeople.
Sarah Vincent Great team to work with. Professional, timely, and communicative.
Justin Smith Great company! They did all electrical for my ducted heat pump install and I also later used them to fix a tripped circuit and replace a few outlets. Caitlyn in office is amazing. Kind, friendly, efficient. She even had me try one thing in case I could fix the tripped circuit myself. Nice! The electrician let me know what I did wrong and educated me a bit which I super appreciate. They (good apprentice also) were efficient, wise and funny (always appreciate some personality!). Love this company. Use them!
Robin H Elevate NW Electric LLC is our go to Electrical contractor! We’ve used their service on several occasions and are extremely satisfied with their quality work and excellent , knowledgeable staff. Look no further ! From Zack to Gavin to Caitlin they are an outstanding team and we highly recommend them!!
R K We recently had Elevate NW Electric add lighting to our large vaulted master bedroom, which previously only had plug-in lamps for light. They installed four can lights on a dimmer switch, and it has made a world of difference—especially since the room also doubles as our office space. It’s brighter, much more functional, and we can easily adjust the lighting depending on how we’re using the room. The technicians who came out were genuinely nice, down to earth, and very respectful of our home. They worked carefully around everything in our bedroom and office space and did a great job cleaning up afterward, which we really appreciated. This wasn’t our first experience with Elevate NW. They also came out last August alongside our heating and air company to handle the electrical portion of that project, and we had a great experience then as well. We’re already planning a few more electrical upgrades in the near future and will definitely be reaching out to Elevate NW again. We would recommend them without hesitation.
Peter Tran Fast, good work, nice.
